Navy tuxedo jacket with satin lapels
Description
I lost my navy tuxedo jacket yesterday around 7:15pm near the Empress Hotel along Belleville Street, by the Inner Harbour in Victoria. It's a two-button, slim-fit tuxedo jacket in a deep navy with satin peak lapels, size L. Inside the left pocket there’s a tiny coffee stain, and the lining has a discreet monogram 'MT' stitched in silver thread. I wore it to my sister's wedding rehearsal last month, and it means a lot to me — it was a gift from my grandfather and I don't own any other formal wear. There are a couple of identifying details: a brass cufflink attached to the inside left sleeve, and the hem is slightly frayed from a recent dry-cleaning. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I can meet at Market Square to pick up.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
